'You' is the lead single from MALMØ’s debut album ‘We Come From The Stars’, released world-wide on 22nd June 2018 via Integrity Records, following the album’s initial availability in the Nordics and UK.
Hailing from Aarhus on Denmark’s east coast, 5-piece band MALMØ features the unique voice and song-writing of Maria Malmoe. Record releases in their homeland and immersive live performances at this year’s Nordklang Festival (Switzerland), Arctic Sounds Festival (Greenland) and SPOT Festival (Denmark) have seen Maria likened to Agnes Obel, Eivør and Oh Land – but there’s a unique musical identity and integrity to her work that defies comparison. To Maria Malmoe, it’s all about the art and meeting the listener within it:
“I dream of touching people with my music, reaching their – and my own – inner core. I believe that music can do that, and that there’s a need for art that inspires the good in people. I think we all need that in this world on the edge of self-destruction.”
UK singles ‘You’ and ‘We Come From The Stars’ garnered wide critical acclaim, with spot plays on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Ulster, Amazing Radio, Shoreditch Radio and numerous regional stations, with Spotify playlisting from the likes of Crack In The Road, Alex Rainbird, Double J, Listen To Discover, TUNE, TJ Jones and Big Tune IMR.
